The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

After hearing this, Xiao Yuhan immediately said with a slumped face: "Sister, do you really think I have never gone to school? Isn't this the Tao Te Ching? Although I don't know which chapter it is, but can you tell me about this Tao Te Ching? Can the sutra be of any miraculous help to me in breaking through the realm of alchemy?"

Xiao Yuhan thought Xiao Xuan was just making fun of her, but Xiao Xuan said in a very serious tone: "The Tao Te Ching is the basic scripture of Taoist practice. It talks about the wisdom of 'Tao'. It has certain aspects in terms of state of mind, virtue, and Taoism." Many profound insights. Cultivation is not only about improving strength, but also about cultivating one's character and understanding the process of life. Your current cultivation system itself is a Taoist system. Is it difficult to understand the Tao Te Ching? "

"Ah, yes, yes, you are right. I use the Tao Te Ching to cultivate immortality, and use the Tao Te Ching to break through the sixth level bottleneck of the Concentration Realm. Can you explain to me in detail whether I can directly become an immortal after memorizing the Tao Te Ching? ?" Xiao Yuhan was already showing off.

However, Xiao Xuan did not complain about Xiao Yuhan this time, but explained to her seriously: "Everything in the world has a Tao, and casting magic is a technique. The Taoist is the root of the technique. Only by understanding the Tao in practice can you stick to your true intention. You can directly inherit it." Without Chen Subaru's body and memory, and without personally experiencing the process of introducing Qi into the body, his understanding of the way of heaven may not be so profound. The Tao Te Ching can guide you to comply with the heaven and earth, and the human heart, so that you can have a stronger mind. When you If you understand more of the true meaning of "Tao", then promotion to the realm of alchemy will no longer be out of reach.

When you were giving lectures to the children at the Fortress, didn't you talk about your own understanding of humanity? As your understanding of humanity becomes more thorough, and if you want to further improve your cultivation, you need to simultaneously improve your understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth. If you focus too much on the understanding of any one of heaven, earth, and man, you will not be able to achieve harmony in your state of mind and cultivation. At best, you will not be able to break through the bottleneck, and at worst, you will become obsessed and fall into the devil's path, thus losing the possibility of advancing as a human being. sex. "

Xiao Yuhan nodded and expressed understanding: "So, I thought that cultivation was a process of id, ego, and superego. I ignored that this is the world of spiritual energy and that we have to communicate with heaven and earth."

Xiao Xuan didn't quite agree with Xiao Yuhan's understanding, but she still organized the language to give her a more understandable explanation: "Xiao Han, you come from the material world, so you will naturally have the thinking mode of the material world. This is actually correct. , the material world tends to pay more attention to humanity and firmly believes in putting people first and that man can conquer nature. Therefore, human beings can stand out in the competition with all things and become the master of a planet. Monks in the spiritual world often pay more attention to the understanding of heaven, but ignore it. The fundamentals of being born as a human being, even if they eventually gain immortality, they lose their humanity, and in the end there is no essential difference between them and demon cultivators."

Xiao Yuhan heard this and asked doubtfully: "Sister Xuan, I am a little confused now. Maybe there is something wrong with my understanding of this world. Can you teach me some knowledge about the way of heaven, earth, and humanity?"

Xiao Xuan responded: "Of course. The so-called way of heaven is the natural law of the universe. Of course, humans cannot directly understand the way of heaven. Instead, they use some tools and special methods to observe the laws of the universe to understand it, such as the innate gossip, Hetu Luoshu, Qimen Dunjia, etc., the way of heaven represents the most fundamental power of the universe, and the ultimate goal of a monk is to use or even control this power.

The tunnel is the life-giving energy of the earth. It regulates the ecological balance of each planet. All things need to abide by her rules and be interdependent.

Humanity is the various relationships between human beings. You have the deepest understanding of humanity. It includes human behavior, moral principles, etc.

From the perspective of cultivation, the way of heaven determines what kind of power is obtained, the way of earth determines where to exert power, and the way of humanity determines that the subject of exerting power is human. Correspondingly, people have human nature, demons have demon ways, and ghosts have ghost ways. Practitioners need to understand the fusion of the power of heaven, earth, and humanity, and integrate it into their own souls at the same time, so that they can integrate their own and external forces and reach a higher realm. "

Xiao Yuhan became even more confused after hearing this. She continued to ask: "This sounds like nothing, but how can we understand and integrate these three paths with each other?"

Xiao Xuan explained: "It is of course not easy to comprehend these things. It requires practitioners to constantly use various ways to comprehend. Some people achieve enlightenment by constantly breaking through their own limits. Some people achieve enlightenment by swallowing all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Some people will look for caves and blessed places. Improve your understanding of heaven and earth.

If you want to understand the way of heaven, you must break the limitations of the human world on the universe and study the movement of celestial bodies and the mystery of the origin of the universe; to understand the way of earth, you need to explore the relationship between the power of the earth and the living environment; and to understand the way of humanity, you need to understand the human heart , moral ethics and other aspects.

The advancement of these three aspects must be carried out simultaneously. For a simple example, suppose you have mastered a powerful power of heaven, but do not know where to use it, or whether you can use it. This will create a paradox. You Your realm will not progress. To put it another way, if you feel that you are very powerful, or that your understanding of life is very deep, but you do not have the corresponding powerful power, you only have a good skin and a world that can withstand huge energy. This will also create a paradox, and the realm will still not be improved. "

This time, Xiao Yuhan seemed to have gained some knowledge, but she still couldn't understand what this had to do with the Tao Te Ching.

Xiao Xuan did not answer her question directly, but asked Xiao Yuhan: "During the process of cultivation, human monks continue to improve their realm. Is it the end when they finally reach the point where they live the same life as the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon?"

Xiao Yuhan replied: "Isn't it right? Isn't cultivating immortality just for immortality?"

Xiao Xuan did not comment, but said lightly: "If it is just for longevity, what is the difference between a person who lives for 1 years and a tree that lives for 1 years?"

Xiao Yuhan thought for a while and said a little unsurely: "There is still a difference."

Xiao Xuan immediately replied categorically: "Of course there is a difference! How can humans be the same as trees? But when it comes to cultivating immortals, only trees cultivate humanity, and no one has ever cultivated trees. Humanity lies in the Tao but not in people!"

Xiao Xuan's words gave Xiao Yuhan an enlightenment. She finally understood what Xiao Xuan wanted to tell her. Sometimes she feels that the ideas in the material world that she has always wanted to express are always incompatible with this world. In fact, it is entirely her own fault in understanding. She has been resisting the objective laws of this world and has never thought about letting her ideas Integrating into a new world, she has no clue why she broke through the realm. It is entirely because her human nature is in conflict with the current earth and heaven. If it were not for the system and the heaven-defying existence of Tiangang Qi, she might not even be able to connect with Chen Chen now. Even Subaru's initial state cannot be grasped.

After Xiao Yuhan understood, he immediately devoted himself to understanding the Tao, and gradually felt a little bit of the existence of "Tao".
